W I claim:

Mounted upon the power shaft 8 is a fixed col- 1. In a device of the class described, segments lar 9 e d in place On the Shaft by set screws movable towards each other to form a sanding 0 d including a ge ll having a frustrowheel, segment clamping collars at opposite an- 001110941 recess 12 disposed to receive the correnular faces of said segments and having over- 55 movable towards each other to form a sanding Wheel with an opening extending axially therethrough, collars engaging the annular faces of said wheel respectively and provided with sleeves extendng inwardly of said opening, said sleeves telescoping with each other and having corresponding interior peripheries for fitting over a power shaft, a radial stud on the inner of said sleeves, there being a slot through the other of said sleeves inclined circumferentially and longitudinally thereof and receiving said stud whereby relative rotation of said collars causes said pin and slot to cam said collars towards each other to grip said segments between them.

- 3. A structure as described in claim 2 in which the annular faces of said wheel include frustroconical bosses and the opposing faces of said collars include correspondingly shaped recesses for receiving said bosses and drawing said segments more tightly together radially of the device as said collars are cammed towards each other.

4. In combination,.an operating shaft, spaced collars each fittingon said shaft inermediate its ends, segments between said collars movable towards each other to form a sanding Wheel with an axial opening receiving said shaft and closed at its ends around said shaft by said collars, and

means inthe closed space'between said collars and between said shaft and the periphery of said opening for drawing said collars towards each other when rotated relatively, there being a cone nection between one ofsaid wheel segments and one of said collars for positively rotating the latter by rotation of said segment about saidshaft.

5. In combination, an operating shaft, a collar having a cylindrical sleeve fitting over said shaft and having a flange extending radially from said sleeve, another collar having a cylindrical sleeve slidably fitting over said first-mentioned sleeve and having a flange extending radially of its sleeve, segments between said flanges movable towards each other to form a sanding wheel with an axial opening receiving said sleeves and closed at its ends around said sleeves by said flanges, a cam stud on one of said sleeves and a cam slot on the other of said sleeves for drawing said collars together when rotated relatively, said cam element being closed off from dirt due to operation of the wheel by said shaft, collar flanges and the inner periphery of said wheel axial opening, there being a connection between one of said wheel segments and one of said collars for positively rotating the latter by rotation of said segment about said shaft.

6. In a sanding wheel unit arranged for application to a through shaft, a pair of sleeves each slidable over the shaft and arranged for telescoping engagement with each other independently of their relatively axial rotation, means on said sleeves functioning independently of the shaft to which they are. applied for moving the sleeves axiallyof each other when they are rotated relative to each other, there being radially extending collars on said sleeves, and sanding wheel forming segments mounted on the outer of said sleeves and arranged to be gripped between said collars when said sleeves are moved towards each other. a

7. In a sanding wheel unit arranged for, application to a through shaft, a pair of sleeves each slidable over the'shaft and arranged for telescoping engagement with each other independently of their relatively axial rotation, one of said sleeves having a slot inclined longitudinally thereof and the other of said sleeves having a 'pin projecting into said slot whereby said sleeves may be moved axially of each other when they are rotated relative to each otherand independently of the rotation of the shaft, there being radially extending collars on said sleeves, and sanding wheel forming segments mounted on the outer of said sleeves and arranged to be gripped between said collars when said sleeves are moved towards each other.

8., In combination, a shaft, an annular sleevelike member slidably receiving said shaft and including a radially extending collar, another annular element slidably receiving said shaft and including a radially extending collar and a cylindrical part slidably receiving said member, said collars having opposing faces, a 'segmentalsa nding wheel surrounding said part and arranged to be gripped between said collar faces,--and means on said member and part for moving them axially when they are rotated relative-to each
